        Yes, Snort and Suricata are IDS/IPS packages that can be used in pfSense. Google would be a great place to compare features and differences. (Lots of reading available on the subject)

        If you are trying out either for the first time, BMeeks posted a reply to a question for another user trying out Snort that may be of some use for you. (another good read):
